System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

He was caught off guard and hastily went through the tribulation of transformation, thinking it was a certain death.

But the girl in red never expected that just when she was unable to withstand the fifth tribulation of lightning, she would be rescued and blocked by someone.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions as she looked back on her three hundred years of cultivation. She had encountered many monks and Taoists in the past, but their first reaction upon seeing her was always to kill her and take her scales and inner core.

As for defying the laws of heaven and resisting the tribulation of lightning... and being a cultivator at that?

She never imagined that something like this would happen to her.

Chen Xuan had no time to pay attention to the girl below, because the sixth bolt of the second wave of lightning had already struck.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan had gained experience and was becoming more and more adept at guiding lightning.

Tear it apart!

Rumbling--

The powerful lightning was briefly guided by Chen Xuan's metallic entity, and then guided by the Lightning Control Technique to the lightning-attracting array below.

However, as the power of the lightning grew stronger, even though the lightning split into four bolts and traveled to the four iron pillars, it still caused an explosion in the courtyard.

"Phew, just as I expected, there's still one more."

Chen Xuan looked up sharply at the center of the huge circular thundercloud that was so close at hand. Because the speed at which the lightning was guided was too fast, the Yin God Chen Xuan was still flashing with visible lightning sparks.

at the same time.

On the winding mountain road about ten miles away from Xihuang Village.

A green Jeep without license plates was also parked on a high slope.

Immediately afterwards, two men and one woman got out of the car. All three were in their early thirties. The man was wearing a black Zhongshan suit with a buzz cut, stood tall, and had a reserved look in his eyes. One of them was carrying a black suitcase.

The woman was wearing a white floral print knee-length dress typical of the 1990s, and was holding a weapon with strange patterns.

The three stood side by side on a high slope, a thousand meters apart, gazing into the distance where thunder raged.

"Strange, this tribulation lightning is so powerful, how could that prodigy withstand it?"

"The world is full of wonders. This monster must be quite powerful and has some kind of backing."

"Hmph, no matter what, it shouldn't have taken so many innocent lives, especially five at once. The deputy director took this very seriously, which is why he sent us back to deal with it."

At this moment, the man with the buzz cut who was leading the group had a golden light flash in his eyes. This kind of eye was clearly an ability that only disciples of the Quanzhen Dragon Gate, who mainly cultivated their souls, possessed.

In an instant, the man with the buzz cut had a significant improvement in his eyesight. He was able to see a person standing vaguely in the air a hundred meters away amidst the clouds and mist.

The man was startled, thinking he was seeing things.

Just as he was about to tell his two colleagues the news.

suddenly.

Rumbling--

The fifth bolt of lightning struck down from the tribulation clouds in an instant. Even though they were nearly ten miles apart, all three of them could feel the oppressive force of this lightning.

"The power is really something. I'm quite curious about what exactly this powerful thing in the water is."

"It's more likely to be a giant snake; these are the types that have appeared in the mountains undergoing tribulations over the years," the woman in the white dress said, waving her palace fan.

"No, I saw a person, not a giant snake."

As soon as the man with the buzz cut finished speaking, his two colleagues immediately turned to look at him.

Without offering much explanation, he immediately took two military binoculars from the car and handed them to the two men.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

The two men took the military binoculars, adjusted the focus, and began to observe carefully.

However, at that moment, a blinding white light instantly illuminated half of the sky, followed by a rumble!

Two or three seconds passed before the deafening roar of thunder reached them.

In the split second that the lightning appeared, the two people observing with binoculars finally spotted, in those fractions of a second, the human figure hovering a hundred meters above the center of the thundercloud.

The sight of this caused all three to widen their eyes and open their mouths involuntarily, letting out a shout.

"Fuck, fuck..."

"To withstand the lightning tribulation while still in human form? How many years of cultivation must that prodigy possess?"

"I'm afraid he has already passed the Transformation Tribulation. Is this the Dragon Transformation Tribulation?"

"impossible!"

"The director said that, as far as Long Xia knows, the only one with enough power to overcome the Dragon Transformation Tribulation is the evil dragon suppressed and sealed in the Blackwater Valley beneath Tangwu Mountain!"

"Holy crap, Zhou Zheng, can you explain what's going on right in front of you?"

Zhou Zheng, the man with the buzz cut, also looked determined upon hearing this and immediately told the two to get into the car. "No matter what his true form is, as members of Bureau 749, we can't be unaware of any details. Let's go now."

All three of them looked grave upon hearing this. They hadn't expected that such a thing would suddenly appear silently in Longxia. If this wasn't handled properly, it could lead to widespread disaster. This was a factor completely outside the control of the authorities, yet their Bureau 749 was completely unaware of it.

This is absolutely outrageous.

The car started with a beast-like roar.

The driver was Zhou Zheng. He reached into the passenger compartment and took out a small red cauldron. He then infused it with spiritual energy, and the cauldron emitted a fiery red glow. The dragon patterns on it seemed to come alive and slowly writhed.

"Let's all use the most secret techniques passed down from our elders. If we're careless this time, we might lose one or two of our men."

"Ah."

"it is good."

As the two nodded solemnly, another man took out a jujube wood sword with charred spots. The sword had a seven-star magic array on its blade and densely packed talismans on its back.

The woman then pinched her fingers several times, and after finishing, she uttered the word "Xian". Suddenly, the ordinary palace fan in her hand transformed into a painting, on which there were faint images of dragons and tigers, though not very clear, they were still faintly visible.

"The Dragon-Subduing Cauldron, a replica of the Quanzhen Dragon Gate's magical artifact?"

"A replica of the Immortal Sword from Wudang Mountain, the Sword of Lu Zu?"

"A replica of the Dragon and Tiger Fan made by the Celestial Masters sect?"

Upon first meeting their colleague's most valuable asset, the three exchanged glances and couldn't help but look at each other with newfound respect.

at the same time.

Xihuang Village.

With the final tribulation successfully guided by Chen Xuan, the tribulation clouds could only let out a powerless roar and slowly dissipate.

The thunderclouds dispersed, the wind and rain subsided, and the chirping of birds, beasts, and insects sounded as if the sounds of revival had returned to the world.

Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. This unexpected visit, which guided the three transformed lightning bolts, had greatly benefited him, making the trip worthwhile.

Chen Xuan landed beside the red-clad girl who was covered in injuries.

The girl forced herself to bow and then immediately knelt down.

"Senior defied the laws of Heaven to save my life, and will surely be punished in the future."

"My fate to become an immortal is shallow, and my cultivation is meager. Even if I give my all in this life, I fear I will not be able to repay this great kindness."

"If my benefactor wants anything, please speak up. Even if it's my inner core, I'm willing to give it to you."

The girl's meaning was clear: you defied the laws of nature to save my life, and if your goal is my inner core, then I am willing to offer it up.
